This case study shows how Centurion successfully integrated DNA Behavior into their marketing and client engagement strategies, resulting in the successful hyper-personalization of their services.

Crafting Personalized Client Journeys
This pioneering project was spearheaded by Joanne Summerfield, Chief Marketing Officer at Centurion. At its heart was the development of personalized marketing campaigns with a dual focus:

1. Drawing in prospects more effectively

Steps in Implementation
The transformation commenced with the Centurion marketing team embracing the DNA Natural Behavior Discovery Process and determining how they could weave this online experience in with their digital ad campaigns. This initial phase involved a comprehensive workshop to understand how the discovery could fit in with their goals and how the insights, such as the unique behavioral styles, could aid in client segmentation strategies. A pivotal part of this journey was utilizing DNA Behavior's distinctive app features.
